Has lots of potential but fails short to global standards of animal well fare. Small cages, no coverage of grass in most of the small cages, water available to animals is in critical condition. No filters? Brown adult bear psychological issues? - rotates in circles as if drugged… nothing looked healthy. Zero option for food/drink or anything that brings in funds for improving that hellish place. Zero education, zero option of children educational interaction of any sort! Big cats and more than two bears do not belong there whatsoever. Neither the wolves. The bengal was horrible to look at. Ughhhh Will not be returning.

Nice place for a weekend walk, not the zoo only but the surrounding park, too. You can get really close to the animals. Free, yet insufficient car parking, affordable entrance fees. Better be there before 10 am in the weekends.

In my opinion, it is worth paying a visit to the zoo. It is well maintained. There are a lot of different and interesting animals. The brown bear was the highlight! It would take you around 1h30min to see everything depending on pace. The ticket is 2 leva for adults.

(Translated by Google) It has been under repair for a year and they have not made any ore to mark it as temporarily closed (Original) От една година е в ремонт а не са си направили руда да го отбележат като временно затворен

(Translated by Google) It doesn't work! Well, write it on the Internet, it's not complicated. (Original) Не работи!Ами напишете го в интернет де,не есложно.

(Translated by Google) The zoo is closed as of August 21, 20200. Nothing has been announced anywhere, officially. On the website of the municipality the closing date is 07.10.2020. there were many confused people. Correction - the information on the site is correct, I have not seen the year correctly. (Original) Зоопарка към 21.08.20200 е затворен. Никъде нищо не е обявено, официално. В сайта на общината датата за затваряне е 07.10.2020. много объркани хора имаше. Корекция - информацията в сайта е правилна, не съм видял годината правилно.

Bad conditions for animals. The lions are in terrible condition. This place have to be closed because its animal cruelity. Not to talk about bears, in what terrible conditions they are.... Sad picture

(Translated by Google) If they had written that it doesn't work (Original) Да бяха написали че Не работи

(Translated by Google) The zoo is under renovation and will not open when. Therefore, you could edit this on the site - "currently open". There are people who travel from other cities and it is not very pleasant when we arrive that we will not see animals! (Original) Зоопаркът е в ремонт и ще отвори незнайно кога. Следователно можеше, да си редактирате в сайта това - "отворено в момента". Има хора, които пътуваме от други градове и не е много приятно когато пристигнем да разберем, че няма да видим животни!

Excellent location, clean, spacious and comfortable for the residents:) and very family friendly. Good value for money and excellent customer service.

If you have kids, this is the place for a Sunday stroll. Kind of small cages for the big animals. Take a hat if you're going on a sunny day. Please park in the designated grid, as not doing so causes traffic difficulty. Really cheap 2 BGN for 1 person.

(Translated by Google) It is currently under repair (Original) В момента е в ремонт

A good place to spend an hour and a half. More informational signs on the animal shelters would be nice, though.

(Translated by Google) It does not work until February 2021 (Original) Не работи до февруари 2021

Much better after the renovations. Being situated in the forest makes it a great retreat from the city. Perfect for kids as they can run around and enjoy seeing various animals or if they are older to also read about them. A bonus is that bagatur is situated there and also offers it's own brand of entertainment.

Great place for family, quiet, clean and entertaining!

Very affordable: 2 lv ticket. Brand new zoo with lots of animal species. You can also enjoy pony or horse riding.

Great place, a lot of animals, well maintained, clean and nice. Strongly recommend not only for children but also for adults! Great place to spend your afternoon at Stara Zagora!

The park is renovated and the atmosphere is nice - there are a lot of animals and good viewing angles. There are benches for resting and the entry fee is only 2lv. The parking lot is a bit small as there is a hospital next to it and a huge park, but we managed to find a spot quite fast.

This zoo was revamped a few years back. I was hoping this would mean more room for the animals. But no, they continue to be caged up in small enclosures so that they are always on display. Not like ZT doesn't have the room to better keep them.

Clean and taken care of. Entrance fee is cheap, but the animals look healthy and happy (being in a cage). Its not big, but for a nice 1-2 hour stroll with the kids perfect

It's a decent size zoo and pretty good animals. They have six big brown bears and two tigers. Some of the cages are small with nothing to entrain the animals. Some of the enclosures smell like they aren't cleaned very often but the really bad one is the racoons. But it is cheap to get in (only 1 Lev per adult) and it's fun to walk around because there aren't many people. I will probably go again with guests who like zoos.

A beautiful day out with the family. A lovely little zoo with beautiful animals.

(Translated by Google) Ideal place for relaxation and family walks! (Original) Идеално местенце за отдих и семейна разходка!

Well I'm sure its a good zoopark,but unfortunately it is under reconstruction i upgrading and it will be finished in 2021.But by then the Park which surrounds the zoopark its worth visiting with good views and wonderful patios.Also there is a parking!

It was an enjoyable day. Most of the animales were outside of the cages. The bears were adorable. We didn't see the tiger, tho he was asleep

An unexpectedly large selection of different types of animals, but the maintenance of the animals' homes did not appeal to me at all. All the animals are in dirt and mud, and while this may be the habitat of some of the animals, most of them looked unwell. (walked in a circle or in a line back and forth)

The park is great, although not a lot of animals, and it is walking uphill all around the whole zoo. You need to be in shape to visit it, lol. The tickets were 6lv per adult, free for children under 4 yo, WC 1lv. There is a small store at the gate with snacks and water etc.

Recently renovated and great place for the whole family. There's several tigers, bears, lots of bird species, monkeys, etc. Pretty much everything you can think of. Animals look happy and well fed. The whole zoo has been recently renovated and it's amazing. Especially for the price.

Definitely outscored my expectations - the place is soon renovated, all alleys, cells and facilities are brand new and it is delightful experience to visit the zoo. We were impressed by the lion, the nutria, the emus and a little fluffy pigeons. 🙂

Nice place at all, but today wolfs have hurt ears, houseflys around them, eating wolfs blood. Please help them asap. Help also 3 lovely bears, with very very dirty water, and this place will be nicer.

After the renovation the Zoo is a really great place to visit. We went there with my wife and both or our kids and we had a wonderful time. Surely once the weather gets warmer we will visit again.

Nice Zoo, bit of a trek up hill from town but worth the effort. Visited during winter so was quiet. Animals look well taken care of and enclosures are clean. Lots of animals, loved the big cats. Small cafe / snack bar / souvenir shoo on site. Well worth the 6leva ticket for a nice afternoon out. Will go back again.

It was really nice. They have a lot of interesting animals. Although it seems when its too hot they hide around.

The cleanest and newest Zoo I've ever visited in Bulgaria! I was so surprised - all animals looked very well and the atmosphere was great!

Perfect for many things A nice walk, relaxing and joy with kids! I will visit this place again

Great place to visit if bored in the city worth the visit great effort with the new build and renovation. Could do with more duty of care for some of the animals like the bears especially and the tigers.

The cages in the zoo are way too small for those animals! Especially for the birds! For example: there are many storks in one really small cage (around 2-3 meters high), obviously they can't move or fly , they just stand there on the ground! In a cage! That's a real torture, set them free or do something so they can have proper larger space! The only place that's big enough is in the middle of the zoo for the goats, sheep etc. Why isn't that possible for all the animals? Either you make a proper spacious zoo or you don't make one at all!

I really liked it. The animals have space and the hygiene is good. Entrance 2lv per person

For 2 BGN only it is well worth a visit.

The park where the zoo is situated is awesome. But...... The zoo has very small cages and empty living areas, I'm not sure it meets the standards and requirements of what a zoo in Europe should look like.

New, amazing and…. cheap?!? Highly recommend! And hope the managers to decide to take more money , because after some year will be not so good as it now

(Translated by Google) Currently at the Zoo in Ayazmoto Park is a major and grand one repair and there will be general changes with a new and modern vision. Up to one year, and maybe closed earlier for visitors! (Original) В момента в Зоологическата градина в Парк "Аязмото" е в основен и грандиозен ремонт и ще има генерални промени с нова и модерна визия. До една година, а може и по рано е затворена за посетители !

Beautiful zoo, part of an amazing park great for a good weather walk. Both the zoo and the park went under a reconstruction recently and are even nicer and modern. The zoo is quite large and cannot really get crowded with a few benches and rest areas. The price of the ticket at the time of this review was only 2 BGN for an adult which is basically a symbolic amount and makes it a must see place.

(Translated by Google) Unfortunately, the zoo did not work when we arrived, there is no information about the beginning of its work, it may work from October 5, people passing by said, at least there was information on the site about repair work, we were driving from Burgas, very upset ( (Original) К сожалению зоопарк не работал, когда мы приехали, информация о начале его работы отсутствует, возможно заработает с 5 октября, сказали мимо проходящие люди, хотя бы на сайте была информация о ремонтных работах, мы ехали из Бургаса, очень расстроены(

Wonderful place for tourist in zoological park

(Translated by Google) Good walk for children (Original) Добра разходка за деца

Great.

Entrance price is very cheap but there are a lot of animals. Pleasant walk among nature.

There's a huge variety of animals there and the zoo is the biggest one on the Balkans.

Best zoopark ever visited. Peaceful place for animals and great time for families

Excellent environment, plenty of species and a lot of fun. Suitable big parking lot nearby, plenty of benches inside the zoo providing comfortable view to the animal's enclosures

Wonderful place to visit in Stara Zagora city

(Translated by Google) Nice experience for small and large. (Original) Хубаво преживяване за малки и големи.

(Translated by Google) The zoo was working when I was there, which from the beginning of the park to the zoo itself did not have a single sign suggesting that (Original) Зоологическата градина бе работеше когато бях там за което от началото на парка до самата зоологическа градина нямаше една табелка подсказваща това

Super

(Translated by Google) The zoo doesn't work. It is under renovation by 2021. (Original) Зоопаркът не работи. В ремонт е до 2021г.

Stara Zagora's Zoo is our preferred destination, every time we visit Stara Zagora. We and our kids, enjoy our time spent at the Zoopark. There is a lot of animals to see and wide playground. I will highly recommend the place and will definitely visit it again next time.
